This blows! But I feel your pain... My motor blew last weekend at 89,000. No warnings at all. I was just driving down the road and the engine went to knocking. I was able to get it back to dealer before it completely seized. I hope everything works out for ya.

you need to. k under hood and verify all your fluids look at your oil level close if it appears milky and or level is very high could be coolant from a head gasket leak or dMaged head if. oolant got in your oil it could cause internal failure from no lube your past oil consumption could also indicate a cylinder with bad rings and that condition couldve resulted in a damaged. inder and or piston coming apart . a seized bearing is also a posibility from either lack of oil or coolant in the case .et us know what u find
